It was only a matter of time until Arsenal starlet Bukayo Saka started generating interest from other top leagues around Europe. Per Italian outlet Calciomercato, the England international is on the radar of Juventus and Atletico Madrid, who are both considering the possibility of making a move for the youngster.
However, according to the report, Arsenal currently values Bukayo Saka at around €50 million, but that number could be slightly deflated. After all, he’s emerged as a massive piece of Mikel Arteta’s side across the last two seasons. He is under contract at the Emirates until 2024 and it does seem unlikely the Gunners would let him leave at all, regardless of the cost.
Saka has started four of Arsenal’s five Premier League games this term but has yet to score or supply an assist. Nevertheless, he’s always important on both ends of the pitch and profiles to be a huge building block for the future. It’s also important to note that Bukayo Saka is coming off an extremely busy summer with the Three Lions and hasn’t really received much of a break.
At this point, it’s just concrete interest from Juve and Atletico. It’s going to be extremely hard for both clubs to sway Saka away from the Gunners, especially since he’s locked down for a few more years. If they do step up their pursuit of him in the near future, that price tag will certainly skyrocket.
